Goldeneye was pretty fun. Anyone who claims they've never screen-watched while playing it is a liar though :P

Goldeneye was the ultimate FPS and the one that got me into it all back in 97. many people think perfect dark trumped it, but ill stick with bond and the gang. dr. doak representin'!

halo was the only game that could dethrone goldeneye. and i don't wanna hear "unreal!" because unreal didnt have a respectable single player mode. for FPS's it went goldeneye, then halo!

*cough* Half-Life > all. And weren't, ah, Wolfenstein 3D and Doom the games that started it all?

There is a new Goldeneye game coming out for X Box. It's a different Goldeneye but it's still based in the 007 world. This time though you play as a villan. See the web site at http://www.eagames.com/official/goldeneye/rogueagent/us/home. jsp.

For PC FPSs yes, but Goldeneye was the first game to show that a console could pull off a great first person shooter. Without it, Halo might not exist.

And then, these forums might not exist either.

Goldeneye is probably if not the greatest, one of the greatest shooters of all time. I wish they could re-create it for xbox and xbox live.

These may have started the fps genre (although I haven't played wolfenstein) but goldeney brang a great story into play and set the standard for all other FPS.

Goldeneye is absolutely not the game that started it all.

true goldeneye didnt come close to starting it all, but it was the first to bring all of the elements together into the game that will go down as the first truely great FPS of all time. i easily put more than 400 hours into that game. goldeneye> all before halo!

Pathways into Darkness started it all for Bungie FPSs.


EDIT

Wrong again!
Marathon 1 is the first truly great FPS of all time.
